Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what support her Department has offered to the Filipino government following Typhoon Hagupit.

I have agreed £2m from DFID’s Rapid Response Facility to help with humanitarian relief to the Philippines through the relief agencies Goal, Christian Aid and Oxfam. The money will be used to help with shelter, relief supplies, water, sanitation and livelihoods in the worst affected areas of the Philippines.
